I'm a bit confused about the tax treatment of cryptocurrency losses. As a crypto investor, can I write off these losses when it comes to calculating my taxable income? I've heard that some countries allow investors to deduct crypto losses from their taxable income, but I'm not sure if that applies to my situation. Could you please clarify this for me? I'd appreciate it if you could provide some specific examples or guidance on how to handle crypto losses for tax purposes. Thank you!
